They look great!!! I love that 10 minute block, you get so much bang for your buck (or your time LOL). I you do the opposite corner as light and dark and then match the middle piece to one set you get more of a bow tie look, it's lots of fun!! Your crayon box block is fabbo too!

Keep em coming!

Your blocks are beeeuuutiful!!! I love your fabrics.

I made a mug rug with the 10 min blocks. Started with 1.5" blocks for the 5 you make your set with. The sets ended up 3". I highly recommend not doing any smaller than 1.5". I sashed mine .75". But I dont think you would need to. Just alternate set colors.

Looks great! It's up to you about the sashing decision. make up a couple of blocks and audition some possible fabrics. I'm in the Thumb too.

I have only seen the ten minute blocks without sashing but. who knows? You may invent a different looking block. Try and see.

Your above blocks look real good.

A friend of mine has just finished 35 of the crayon blocks and is addicted. Great charity blocks since they use up scraps and go fast. She put novelty fabrics in the centers since we are making them for kids.

Her goal is 100..
